Is Aurelia too popular?

I've recently noticed that Aurelia is rising in popularity. Is it becoming too popular? I won't use a name that people think is unique, and I think that's what people feel this is. I need something uncharted, but not if everyone loves it.

I don't think that you should back down from using a cool name even if it is becoming more popular by the second. I mean, I wouldn't use Katniss or anything like that, but I think Aurelia, despite becoming more popular, is still not that well known, and is a very beautiful name. Just because a whole lot of people like it doesn't mean you shouldn't use it. It's still very unusual, and I think the popularity of the name shouldn't effect your use of it if you think it is a fitting name for your character.

“I read books when I was a kid, lots of books. Books always seemed like magic to me. They took you to the most amazing places. When I got older, I realized I couldn't find books that took me to all the places I wanted to go. To go to those places, I had to write some books myself.”
